The steel-top flexible chain flexible conveyor is a type of flexible conveyor. During operation, if many of its components are not used in accordance with the proper methods, they can easily get damaged, which may even lead to various unnecessary problems. Today, the editor will explain to you the usage guidelines for steel-top flexible chains in flexible conveyors. 1. The flexible chain on the steel top of the flexible conveyor must have sufficient strength. It is strictly prohibited to replace high-strength steel top flexible chains with low-strength steel top flexible chains. 2. Flexible chain tensioning device for the steel top of flexible conveyors. (1) The flexible chain tensioning device for the steel top of the flexible conveyor shall be equipped with limit position stoppers. When the automatic tensioning device reaches its extreme position, it is necessary to ensure that the power supply for lifting is automatically cut off, and a signal indicating that lifting is prohibited is issued. When it drops to the limit position, it ensures that the power for descent is automatically cut off, and a signal prohibiting further descent is sent. (2) Protective devices should be installed at locations where personnel often approach the tensioning device for the flexible chain of the flexible conveyor’s steel top. The protective device shall prevent personnel from entering the space beneath the weight. In the absence of such a protective device, a support mechanism shall be installed beneath the weight, with a clear distance from the ground or other working surfaces of not less than 2.5 m. 3. A braking device capable of being activated when the flexible chain of a flexible conveyor with a steel top turns. (1) The flexible chain braking device on the steel top of the flexible conveyor must be in a state where it can apply braking at any time. Its braking friction surface must not have any defects that could impair braking performance or be contaminated with oil. (2) The braking devices for the flexible chains on the steel roof of flexible conveyors, for normal as well as emergency use, shall be equipped with conspicuous markings and shall be located in easily accessible positions. (3) The braking device of the flexible conveyor with steel top and flexible chain unloader should be sensitive and reliable. Its limiting clamping device should be able to withstand the maximum wind force under operating conditions on its own, without being blown away by the wind. The installation of end stops on the track should ensure that the dump car does not derail or tip over. The above are the usage guidelines for flexible chains with steel tops in flexible conveyors, as summarized by the editor. Perhaps the summary is not exhaustive, but it covers most of the essential points; you can use it as a reference.
